Fantastique in the 15éme! As a gluten free vegetarian,…read morevacationing in Paris has been, shall we say an adventure! I even downloaded a speaking translation app in order to be able to tell waiters that I am gluten free vegetarian! ;-) Arriving to our new "home" here in Paris, we looked on Yelp for nice place near to us and found Axuria from the review written by Randy D. Thank you for sharing otherwise we would not have found this treasure. We expected typical French service, but we were blown away. The Chef-owner, Olivier Amestoy, Director of the Restaurant, Lionel Brissard and their server, spoiled us for any other restaurant and we plan to return as many times as we can while we are here. They were very accommodating for my allergies, providing amazing options for me starting with an amazing Asparagus soup Amuse Bouche, followed by one of the best salads I have ever had, and my main, (an entree on the menu) Asparagus with poached eggs and hollandaise. Dessert was a trio of the best sorbet we have had. My friend is in love with the first amuse bouche we received - the cheese puff pastry, she ordered a plat - "Noisette L'Agneu" a roast lamb that she declared to be absolutely delicious. Dinner was accompanied by a wonderful wine of course... Sitting "with" us were two ladies who ordered two different fish dishes that were wonderful as well as the soufflé for dessert that looked out of this world. The decor was beautiful and freshly original, lighting inspired by nature, creating an ambiance and atmosphere suited to the beautiful food and service. The five stars is the best I can give for the the experience we had and it is well deserved.

Axuria, which means milk fed lamb, is a restaurant not too far from where we live…read more We arrived at the restaurant, and the waiter/maitre'd answered the door and greeted us very warmly. Almost immediately we got an amuse bouche of chorizo sausages and puff pastry cheese sticks. I was surprised the chorizo had very little kick to it, and the cheese sticks were nothing special. We got a half a bottle each of the Isabelle et Pierre Clément Châtenoy red and white. Much to our surprise and delight, we got another amuse bouche, this time it was a little creamy soup of leeks, celery and green onions, with a sprinkling of a little olive oil. Entrées: Our friend ordered the "Ravioli de truffes noires court-bouillon et sa crème parfumée" (Ravioli of black truffle broth and flavored cream). She raved that it was delicious, especially the sauce, or as they say in French, "Beaucoup de goût" lots of flavor. "Coeur de scarole braisée farcie aux huitres fines de claires marennes d'Oléron cuit en cocotte, laqué" (Escarole stuffed with oysters fine clear Marennes d'Oléron broth). This was a stuffed escarole with oysters. This dish was delicious. I wasn't as polite and asked my companion if I could taste it. Yum, yum. This dish wasn't as creamy as the ravioli, but was not a shy dish, you could taste the oysters, and the accompanying broth was delightful. It had a punch of flavors. I ordered the "Pâte artisinale aux queues de langoustines, consummé d'épices et feuille de citron kaffir" (A dough stuffed with langoustines, broth of spices and kaffir lime leaf). This was probably the most refined of all the entrées we had. Basically, it was akin to a wonton stuffed with langostines. Normally kaffir leafs are used in Southeast Asian curries, but in this dish the citrusy element was quite mild and not overwhelming. It was a good, solid dish, again very refined. Plats: Our Italian friend ordered the Parmentier de cochon Iberique braisé, sarriette (Braised Iberian savory pork pie). I'm not a big fan of "parmentier" which is akin to a sheppards pie, oftentimes it's folded into the mashed potatoes, in this case it was all meat and then a layer of potatoes on top. I thought the pulled pork was a bit stringy, our friend thought it was OK, but I would definitely not order something that is typically made in a French home. It was not a complicated nor a sophisticated dish. Cabillaud with a foam cream and variety of vegetables. The dish was flavorful, and my companion enjoyed that the dish was accompanied with various vegetables which is a rarity in most French restaurants, unless you're ordering a salad as a plat, and contrary to popular belief, French fries don't count. I had the "Braisée traver de Porc" (braised pork ribs). These spare ribs are nothing like the typical spare ribs you get in US. They were slowly braised in a rich wine sauce and the meat literally fell off the bone. I loved the dish because it was rich in flavor. Surprisingly, it was served with a side of haricot vert, carrots, squash,some potatoes and mushrooms. That was quite a nice accompaniment. Desserts: Our Italian friend ordered "Craquant de 3 sorbets maison, colis de framboises" (3 crisp sorbets, raspberry parcels), this was basically a trio of sorbets that consisted of raspberry, mango, and lemon accompanied with some sugar crispy wafers. Originally my companion ordered the "Petit feuilleté chaud de pommes, crème glacée à la vanilla." Our waiter got it confused, and brought out the "Assiette de fruits frais de saison simplement minute" (Assorted fresh seasonal fruit ). He was about to return it until he saw the plate of fruit and incredible variety, it was too appetizing to return. He liked the fruit and thought it was very fresh. It also had a dollop of mango sorbet I ordered "Assiette de fromage" (plate of cheese). I have to say, I had quite the variety of cheese. Normally, you get 2 or 3 types of cheese to sample, but this particular dish had 5-cheeses, a nice salad tossed in a mild creamy vinaigrette, accompanied with walnuts and dried apricot. After desserts, when we thought all was said and done, much to our surprise and delight, they served us a plate of madeleines as well as little chocolate fudge. At this point, I'm thinking I'm liking this restaurant a lot! Summary: Although it's namesake is Axuria (milk fed lamb), I think there was maybe one lamb dish on the menu. Regardless, this restaurant is a winner. Chef Olivier Amostoy is one of the best Chefs in Paris. Our favorite dish was the amuse bouche soup. The only dish we weren't that excited about was the parmentier, but other than that, everything was a winner. I really don't want to share this restaurant, since it's a neighborhood restaurant that I want to start frequenting, but I'm all about sharing. Auxria is a hidden gem, so go before it becomes too popular.

I've come here twice for dinner en famille, the homemade fries are great, and my husband likes the burgers, but I've ordered the plat du jour each time (once a tuna steak provencal & the other time chicken breast with melted cheese and aubergines on top) and neither time was I impressed.

The restaurant was packed but we were offered to seat outside. It was a cold November evening and the restaurant has several patio heaters disseminated all around the perimeter, all of which were turned off. We called a server and asked if he could kindly turn on the closest heater to us, because we were freezing. His response, without even mincing the words was: "Sure, and who will pay for the electricity bill? You?". I was speechless by his rude behavior. We had already ordered our food, otherwise we would have left then and there. The rest of the meal felt rushed and perfunctory. Food quality was subpar and overpriced. In a nutshell, this is a tourist trap. BTW, I ended up catching one of the worst cold of my life thanks to that outside meal.

The steak was done exactly as we ordered it. It was accompanied with a savory mushroom, arugula sauce. The duck was surprisingly meaty. The outside was slightly crispy and the meat juicy. The most amazing part of the dish was the cherry wine reduction. It was at once sweet and savory and the perfect accompaniment to the duck. We licked out plates clean. We ordered dessert. He had the baba rhum and I had the creme brulee. The baba rhum came topped with a mountain of fresh whipped cream. The waiter poured on the St. James rum right at the table. It was way too strong for me but he loved it! My creme brulee was everything it's supposed to be. Crunchy layer on top, creamy with hints of vanilla inside. So delicious! It makes me sad that I'm not eating it right now. This was, hands down, one of the best meals we had in Paris.

Being two americans who don't speak a lick of French, we shyly asked the waiter to help us with the menu. He asked us to wait 5 minutes and when he finally came over, he was forgiving about his English and took the time to walk us through everything. I had a steak, she had duck. Both were exquisite! For dessert I had a great baba rhum and she had creme brulee. She wasn't a fan of the rhum (what?) but I always love it! And her creme brulee...wowowowow. When they say the French really know their food, they weren't kidding. Everything at this place tasted magnificent and made me feel like there was something I had been missing all this time with the way they prepared their food. The only thing about this place is it's a bit out of the way if you wind up staying near the city center, which is where most other tourists stay.
